The Witching Hour was situated on Great Eastern Square. This
pub closed in 1982. |

I used to drink in The Witching Hour regularly in the late
seventies/early eighties. It had brilliant beer and a great ‘all comers’
live music night on a Saturday. I recognise two of the people in the photo
on your website. The bearded gent in the glasses is David Barber, a local
ship’s chandler and the chap in the tweed jacket with his back to the camera
is Ron Ellis, the landlord. Both are now sadly deceased. Ron was a spitfire
pilot in world war II and knew Douglas Bader who I recall once visiting the
pub. Ron had been awarded the Distinguished Flying Medal and had flown the
aircraft that brought General De Gaulle to England following the German
invasion of France. I was a very young man when I used to visit this pub but
remember some great times, great beer and great music. This was where I
learned to play cribbage! |
